Canon C70 Black
The Super 35mm Dual Gain Output sensor delivers 16+ stops of dynamic range with low noise, and the camera records 4K at up to 120fps with internal ND filters and mini XLR audio inputs eliminating external rigging. Its compact 1179g unibody design with an ergonomic grip and RF mount pairs with the included RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens for versatile handheld shooting. This camera is best for documentary and event filmmakers who need a self-contained cinema tool with professional audio and ND filtration in a lightweight body.
